Founded in March 2016, LaunchVic was established by the Victorian Government to support the development and growth of the local startup ecosystem. Yeah Nah 2017 is LaunchVic’s inaugural summit, showcasing the best of the Victorian startup business community.
The summit aims to reach businesses at every stage of the startup journey with speakers covering a range of topics including investment, raising capital, scaling a business overseas, marketing for small businesses, fostering company culture as well as what they would or would not do differently if they had their chance again – their ‘Yeahs and Nahs’!
Aris will be taking the stage at 1:30 pm, speaking about the challenges faced by Moula (and most small business owners) when it comes to raising capital. Other speakers include:
